im trying to rotate sprites like i would rotate a 3d plane object on the y axis so it will always rotate
someone already wrote me a code once but i forgot the thread and the code :/

the idea is a coin that is rotated on the (3d) y (up) axis so it will look like the coin is flipping

any help would be much appreciated

ty nadav.

You could scale the sprite on Y depending on the sin of the angle you need - like squishing it on the X axis. By incrementing that X angle, you would just use sin(ang#)*size# for the new Y scale, leaving the X scale alone.
